Mescaline Maniacs #39

Hey What's up everyone before we start I want to say Rest In Power to Katz of  Gorgonized Dorks. It's a shame that he pass away. R.I.P. Here is the interview a band hailing from Sactown. I intervied one of the members here is the interview of Mescaline Maniacs enjoy

State your name and what band do you play in???                                                                                                            Hey what’s up my name is Isaias, I play guitar in Mescaline Maniacs and I play live guitar for Kind Eyes. Thanks for hitting me up.

How you doing??                                                                                                                                                         I’m doing alright haha, life is pretty fucking grim with no shows as an outlet, but hopefully we’ll eventually get them back. Fuck COVID. 

How did you get into punk??                                                                                                                                                 Well I never necessarily got into punk the genre, I just really love DIY, the first grindcore show I ever went to was a Nerve Grind show at Casa de Chaos. Ever since then the idea of sweaty punk kids moshing in a small room has been my paradise. But some punk bands I do like are Negative Approach and Limp Wrist.

How did Mescaline Maniacs start as a band???                                                                                         Mescaline started in a garage with my best friends. I’d been friends with my drummer Nico since 4th grade and vocalist Nate since 10th. I’d been going to shows and been playing music for a while. We would always get drunk and start karaoking emo songs in Nate’s garage and I would usually bring guitar and amp to mess around. So eventually Nico just got a kit and we made it a band.

What was the line up???                

At first the lineup was just Nate, Nico, and me. We played like 4 shows and we thought we should probably get a bassist. Andrew went to one of our shows, liked us and asked me if we needed a bassist. Everything just sounded a lot better.

what are your guys influences ??

I’d say a combination of our influences are Beyond Pain, Nailed Down, Haggus, and Charles Bronson. 

How did Mescaline Maniacs get its name?? 

Well I’ma just say shout out to Nico’s uncle.

any cool shows you guys played??? 

Mescaline loves playing house shows more than anything. Our collective favorite would probably be when we played The Cove, which was inside Nate’s house. Nate was moving so we were able to throw a one time show there. 

Any releases coming out soon???                                                                                                       Yeah we actually got a remaster of our self-titled coming out on the legendary 625 Thrashcore next year! We’re so fucking amazed by that, stay tuned. We’re currently writing for a new release, probably a couple splits with some homies

Any shoutout you want to give?

Shoutout to Hirax Max, El Crusty Cristo, Thrash Tapes, RawDog Studio, Cesar & his middle finger, the 20916 fam, Coors Banquet, everyone who’s supported us, and to every single band we have played with. 

Thanks Isaias for you time
